How about:
The Mudokons were giving advice and assistance to the Khanzumerz. The Khanzumerz, however, began to become increasingly aggressive and warlike, until the Mudokons had a flash of conscience, and withdrew their support. In rage, the Khanzumerz turned against them, and enslaved them. The Glukkons had already been conquered at this point, as had the Sligs, and the two races were more or less integrated into Khanzumer Society (which later became what we know of industrial Mudos today), albeit lower down the pecking order.
That wasn't thought through, so it's just a basic idea, and not as exciting to read as the other one, but it's there, and it's possible...
